Former Michigan offensive coordinator Judd Lattimore, who was hired last summer and helped lead the Wolverines in their transition into Division I after a long, successful run in the MCLA, has left the program to take an open assistant coaching position at Penn, where he had been an assistant in 2006.

"Judd Lattimore is an outstanding lacrosse coach who made a huge impact on Team One here at Michigan," coach John Paul said. "I wish him nothing but the best at his next stop, and through the rest of his career."

After leaving Penn in ’06, Lattimore spent two seasons at his alma mater North Carolina and then three seasons at Bucknell. He joins Mike Murphy's staff that has another opening after Jason Archbell took the head coaching job at Bowdoin and Cory Coffman stepped down from the program.

Paul did not comment on Lattimore's replacement, nor was there news on Penn's other open assistant position.

The moves at Penn and Michigan are a drop in the bucket as the DI assistant coach carousel moves on it own momentum.

At Ohio State, coach Nick Myers is looking to replace Andrew Baxter, who left the program to be closer to his family in New York. Sources say the Buckeyes are close to bringing former Johns Hopkins player and volunteer assistant Jamison Koesterer, who rejoined the program and has been working with the face-off specialists since September 2010.

Also, High Point brought on former Maryland defender Joe Cinosky as a volunteer assistant, joining Jon Torpey's staff that includes Pat Tracy and Mike Phipps.

With the increased spread of volunteer assistants and directors of operations, programs more frequently have internal options to replace assistant coaches than five years ago. To that end, John Galloway at Duke and Keith Euker at Michigan may be options to fill vacancies.
